Our new paper is out to day in Nature Ecology and Evolution! It is called: Thresholds of functional trait diversity driven by land use intensification ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41... #FunctionalTraits 🌐 ➕📏 @inrae-france.bsky.social @urep.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @bexplo.bsky.social

Une économie qui va couter très cher: Le cout du traitement des pesticides dans l'eau juste pour avoir de l'eau potable au robinet serait de l'ordre du milliard d'euros par an... Et on supprime des aides pour l'agence qui promeut la seule agriculture qui fait sans? Fausse économie, fausse route?

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

📣 We are offering 2 PhD thesis projects @inrae-save.bsky.social with Gaëtane Le Provost, Brice Giffard & my self. 1/2# Impacts of land-use change on biodiversity and ecosystem services adum.fr/as/ed/voirpr...

We are offering a two-year postdoc position to work on the spatiotemporal dynamics of native and invasive pest species in vineyard landscapes. Co-supervision between @inrae-save.bsky.social & @cbgpmontpellier.bsky.social with @cnmeynard.bsky.social. More info: jobs.inrae.fr/en/ot-25562

Our latest study is online! 🐣 We show that tebuconazole, a widely used fungicide, significantly reduces growth and survival of house sparrow chicks at concentrations similar to those found in birds from intensive vineyard areas ! 📢 CNRS press release 👉 bit.ly/42u5itZ 📄 Article 👉 bit.ly/4cjZs1F

In our new preprint lead by @pietropollo.bsky.social we show how to use meta-analysis to compare not sample means but also kurtosis & skewness, as well as within-group covariance between multiple groups. The era of meta-analyzing whole distributions is here ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Our study ‘The global human impact on biodiversity’ is out in Nature! Through an unprecedented synthesis (2133 studies!) we show that humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet. 🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A new study by @alexpigot.bsky.social and colleagues reveals the critical role of biodiversity in the functioning of ecosystems. @uclcber.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A 2-year post-doc position to work on the Fellow project, about the response of arable plant communities to gradients in agricultural practices, and their role on agroecosystem functioning (particularly the link with pollinators and beneficial insects) 🌸🐝 Position based at Cesab, Montpellier

“Fragmented landscapes consistently have both lower α diversity and lower γ diversity [but higher β diversity] Our findings refute claims that habitat fragmentation can increase biodiversity at landscape scales” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

Postdoc at SLU Uppsala! 🇸🇪 The work will use a large database to investigate drivers of pest and pathogen outbreaks and their links to climate to improve crop protection 🐛🌽🌡️ Work with fantastic PIs, Ola Lundin, Hanna Friberg and Giulia Vico! Apply here: www.slu.se/en/about-slu... Please share!

[new paper] Tailored policies for perennial woody crops are crucial to advance sustainable development rdcu.be/d39od We believe that perennial crops are an overlooked player in food production & sustainability. Here we explain opportunities and risks, led by @cmarnu.bsky.social @ebdonana.bsky.social

La chercheuse Élodie Vercken est l’une des autrices du livre « Sortir des labos pour défendre le vivant ». Prôner la neutralité, c’est dépolitiser la science et l’« instrumentaliser pour défendre le statu quo », dit-elle. Lire l'article : reporterre.net/On-assiste-a...

We need to all collectively decide to stop propping up these journals (MDPI and “Frontiers In” megajournals) by lending them our credibility. Every time you submit to, review for, guest edit, or even cite (??) these journals, you lend them your hard earned credibility. Don’t do it.

Last but not least. 🍇 Et avec une visio en plus.

Strongly agree with this letter in Science arguing that field-based research should be more highly and fairly valued in academia. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This paper was a massive team effort that culminated in a simple story: More biodiverse communities of invertebrates, in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, have a higher content of "good fats" that are available for predators (e.g. bird, bats, fish, etc...). doi.org/10.1126/scie...
